Thanks, Peter

Peter Klose is a bulwark against the idiocies and vagaries that can sink a real estate deal, especially an involved one like our eight-month short sale purchase. We were first-time home buyers and after several bad experiences with various brokers and lawyers, Peter’s knowledge, professionalism, a...nd advocacy were a welcome relief. He kept on top of the other side, which was less than forthcoming at times, and kept us neatly informed of what we needed to know and do. He returned calls and emails immediately. He knows the market and the players in the area and was able to get important information through back channels. In fact, after I told him about our previous string of failed deals, he recommended the broker that we ended up using -- who was also a winner -- even before we had agreed to work with him. He’s one of the good ones.

Our closing attorney for 1st home!

As one can imagine the process of buying your first home is a scary undertaking. My husband and I wanted to make sure we would select a great attorney to help us along the journey. After an extensive search and reading many reviews, we selected Peter and it turned out to be a great decision! From the... first point of contact with Peter we knew it was going to be the right fit. During the mortgage process a few issues with our lender came up but Peter acted quickly in advising us and was reassuring. Peter was prompt with all of his responses whether it was via email or by phone. At times he'd even respond before I got the chance to log out of my email account! Towards the nearing of our closing, the day before to be exact, things got interesting again with our lender but Peter was consistently there for us when seeking his advise. He is personable, professional, and understanding. We wholeheartedly recommend Peter to anyone looking for a real estate attorney.

Two Thumbs Up!

In our opinion, Peter has the experience and know-how to successfully complete any legal process. He goes above and beyond to satisfy his client. Peter makes sure he gets the best outcome possible. Being personable and professional is his forte. He has represented my husband and I in a number of lega...l matters over the last four years. Recently this month Peter was our attorney for a real estate transaction and did a awesome job. With his terrific sense of humor, fast responses and knack of making anyone feel comfortable, he makes it happen. We will happily recommend him to family and friends. We are truly fortunate and blessed to have Peter as our attorney!

Home Purchase

Nothing but good things to say in working with Peter Klose. He was extremely responsive, knowledgeable and easy to work with. I would recommend him in a heartbeat. We used him as our attorney in our Westchester Home Purchase transaction and will do so again in the future if need be.

Outstanding communication and knowledge!

My overall experience with Peter Klose was excellent and I would definitely recommend this attorney. He is a very professional and knowledgeable lawyer as well as amiable and compassionate. I have hired Mr. Klose to represent me during my primary home purchase. I had worked with another lawyer prior ...to Peter Klose, but I was not happy, therefore, I started looking around for somebody else. I found Peter's name on-line, checked his ratings and reviews, and contacted him. Peter was very helpful with any questions/clarifications that I needed- I felt that I was well informed and properly advised every step of the way. He responded to reasonable amount of time. On many occasions, he exceeded my expectations- I haven't waited once more than 24h to receive an e-mail or call back (even when he was on his vacation, he always got back to me in a timely manner!). And this is exactly why I went back and asked Peter Klose to represent me again!
